Live at Attic x Café del Mar (December 2023)

Standard | Posted on by

Attic returned for a summer soirée at the iconic Café del Mar Sydney back in December—the balmy weekend was embraced by the sun-drenched ambience of Cockle Bay.

As I like to do, I kicked off the afternoon’s proceedings, offering a selection of Balearic-inspired flavours to set the mood and tone, in preparation for the more house-centric flavours to follow. (And they certainly did.)

I really enjoyed packing and preparing this particular box—which required many a dig for hidden treasures from yesteryear!—and it came out about as well as I hoped it might!

I hope it translates as such for you, potentially offering a tasty aural side dish for your day or evening!

Bon appetite!

Live at Fazz’s Birthday at Stanley’s (March 2023)

Standard | Posted on by

The big dog, Andrew Fazzolari, blew out an undisclosed number of candles in March and decided to celebrate the occasion with a good ol’ fashioned Saturday shindig at Stanley’s.

The Fazz curated a hand-picked line-up of selectors for the special occasion and generously gifted me the first two hours of the balmy Autumn evening!

I entered the venue at the tail-end of, shall we say, a “colourful” daytime takeover that was many hours—and countless beverages—deep, and was greeted by an intriguing soundtrack of popular radio-played bangers from the start of the century; ‘Ms. Jackson’ and ‘Teenage Dirtbag’, notably.

At its conclusion, we were afforded a few sought-after moments of serenity while the Technics were rolled out and added to the booth. I was afforded the opportunity to allow the dust—and, indeed, serotonin!—to settle, and re-set things with some lower, slower groovers, just as intended.

I prepared a bespoke “crate” of selections filled with some of the birthday boy’s personal favourites and guilty pleasures, along with others I thought he might enjoy. I believe I hit the brief and was pretty pleased with the result. Most importantly, The Fazz seemed to enjoy himself right through ’till the call for last drinks.

In any case, I hope you enjoy it, too.

Live at Stanley’s (9th December, 2022)

Standard | Posted on by

Certified slow jams incoming!

The Fazz and I returned to one of our favourite haunts—and a hidden local pleasure!—Stanley’s on Stanley for an all-afternoon/all-night pre-Christmas affair.

The entire venue was booked for an EOY shindig by the fine folk at Desk Space—a nearby co-working hub—who, I don’t mind mentioning, had personally requested our services, having heard one of our Attic mixes playing during a venue inspection.

(Humble brag, sure, but hey, gotta take them where you can!)

The seven-hour sesh flew by in the blink of an eye, and we had a blast playing for the wonderfully receptive crowd who stuck with us right ’till close.

Here is the opening hour, beginning at five o’clock. It’s an understandably laidback affair, setting the scene for all that was to come! (And it definitely did.)

Hope you enjoy some forgotten favourites of yesteryear, washed down with the usual abundance of lower, slower, groove-laden jams!
